The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 126 Father and Son Deliver Melons!

"Your Majesty is wise! Her Highness the Empress is virtuous and kind, and will naturally take good care of the affairs of the inner palace."

"However, I have heard that 'as long as one's parents are alive, one still has a place to come from.' Although His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus has moved to Da'an Palace, he is still Your Majesty's blood relative."

"If Her Majesty the Empress's gift is one of thoughtfulness, then His Majesty's gift is one of filial piety. Only with such double gifts can the world know that the emperor and his ministers of the Great Tang are of one mind, and that filial piety is flourishing!"

This statement left Li Shimin and others speechless.

"Well said! Reward him with one piece!" Li Shimin instructed Zhang Anan to give another piece to the official.

"Ananda, send someone to deliver this to the Emperor Emeritus!" Li Shimin instructed, "I should have gone myself, but I am too busy with state affairs."

Da'an Palace

Li Yuan was holding an electric fan, with two cups of tea beside him.

Now Li Yuan has taken a liking to these teas and no longer wants to drink the teas from the Tang Dynasty.

Empress Zhangsun sent many gifts, each with its own unique characteristics.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, Her Majesty the Empress has sent over some chilled watermelon and fruit," a palace maid suddenly announced.

Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu were delighted to hear about the chilled watermelon.

Li Yuan said with a smile, "Let me see it!"

Watermelons and fruits were placed on the table, and Li Yuan reached out to touch them; they were ice-cold.

"Haha, good, come quickly!" Li Yuan said hurriedly.

Recently, the Lizheng Palace has been sending gifts, and Li Yuan feels a little guilty about it.

Zhang Jieyu picked up a lychee, peeled it, and fed it to Li Yuan, saying, "This is also a good thing."

Even without being told, Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu knew that these things were related to Xiao Ran.

These foods were not allowed to be eaten in Chang'an City before.

"It's truly a fine product; no amount of money could buy it." Li Yuan thought for a moment, "Let's send half of the watermelon to the Taiji Hall for Erlang!"

Consort Zhang was somewhat reluctant, "Emperor Emeritus, His Majesty certainly doesn't lack anything! There's no need to send him anything!"

“It’s different. This watermelon is so big, half of it would be enough for us to eat,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

After Li Yuan said that, Zhang Jieyu could no longer persuade him.

A palace maid left Da'an Palace carrying half a watermelon, and someone arranged by Li Shimin also brought a watermelon.

Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu were both stunned for a moment.

The eunuch also relayed Li Shimin's message, and Li Yuan nodded, "Alright, go back and tell His Majesty that the watermelons have arrived and are very sweet."

Everyone knows this is an attempt to improve the relationship.

After the officials in the Taiji Hall finished eating, they wished they could eat some watermelon rinds.

Watermelon rinds also contain a lot of moisture.

Li Shimin looked at everyone and said, "Alright, gentlemen, let's continue discussing what happened before."

Zhang Anan walked over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus sent someone to deliver half a watermelon, saying that it is hot in summer and that Your Majesty should cool down."

Li Shimin estimated the time in his mind, and before the person he had arranged had arrived, Li Yuan sent his own.

Li Yuan was also taking the initiative to show goodwill.

"The Emperor Emeritus's actions fully demonstrate his benevolence. As the Son of Heaven, I should set an example and promote filial piety. Ananda, arrange for a proper return gift; do not neglect it," Li Shimin hurriedly replied.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" This servant will make the arrangements immediately.

Fang Xuanling quickly replied, "Your Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus are of one mind, which is a blessing for our Great Tang Dynasty and a boon for all its subjects. This is a sign of a prosperous era, and we should do our utmost to assist Your Majesty in creating a peaceful and prosperous world together."

Wei Zheng was less flattering but still quite appreciative, saying, "Your Majesty governs the country with filial piety, and the Emperor Emeritus responds with kindness. This is a blessing for the nation. However, I believe that the practice of filial piety is not limited to exchanging fruits and melons, but also lies in treating each other with sincerity. I hope Your Majesty will often visit the Da'an Palace to inquire after the emperor's well-being, so as to fulfill the bond between father and son."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded in response to Wei Zheng, secretly wondering whether he should send this country bumpkin some durians to try.

Xiao Ran was a little uneasy with only the little princess present.

He stayed in the bedroom the whole time.

The necessary solar panels are almost ready.

Xiao Ran was also considering how to make it easier to transport these things in the future.

It's impossible to expect to move it all by myself.

While pondering these matters, Xiao Ran would occasionally glance at the little princess.

They were afraid the little girl would get a fever again.

Fortunately, the little princess was in good condition; her fever had subsided, and she was sleeping soundly. She also woke up slowly and gave Xiao Ran a sweet smile.

"Little Bag~" the little princess called out in a muffled voice.

"Sizi, are you still feeling unwell?"

"No way~"

"Get up or sleep a little longer?"

"Get up!" the little princess said.

Xiao Ran picked up the little princess's shoes. They were small, exquisite, and cute, and looked very expensive.

The little princess said to herself, "Little Nangjun, come here~"

The little princess doesn't need anyone's help; she can dress herself.

"Shall we go see the sheep or play with the cars?" Xiao Ran asked, pulling the little princess out of the bedroom.

"Look at the sheep~" the little princess exclaimed.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran sat down on the sofa with the little princess in his arms, picked up the remote control, and found the cartoon.

Fortunately, this animated series is quite long, with several seasons to come.

Given the princess's current condition, Xiao Ran didn't dare let her eat ice cream or anything like that.

The little girl definitely wants to eat it.

Princess Chengyang in Lizheng Palace drives her Mercedes-Benz by herself. Without the princess, Princess Chengyang feels a bit lonely.

Princess Yuzhang accompanied him, but he was different from other children his age.

Li Lizhi and Empress Zhangsun were discussing matters related to the supermarket.

When Li Lizhi mentioned the electric fan, she said that neither Li Shimin nor Empress Zhangsun agreed to install such a thing on their heads.

A large ceiling fan could not possibly be found in the Rissei-den (Imperial Hall).

They felt it was too dangerous; they were afraid of the worst-case scenario, and neither Empress Zhangsun nor Li Shimin dared to gamble on such a thing.

We have to consider other options.

Princess Chengyang was also distracted while driving her little car, glancing at the screen every now and then.

There's really no way to get past the screen now; those who can pass through it are no longer in the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran and the little princess were on the other side.

Even if others have something to say, they can only watch helplessly.

Xiao Ran ordered a durian mille-feuille. He can't eat ice cream, but this should be okay.

The little princess was very excited when she saw the durian mille-feuille.

Rubbing his little hands together impatiently, Xiao Ran opened the box and handed the spoon to the little princess, "Sizi, eat up!"

The little princess took the spoon but didn't eat. "Little Nangjun wants to share with Second Sister!"

"Okay! Shall we go and eat with my second sister and the others?"

“Good duck~”

Xiao Ran booked three, originally including Li Lizhi and a few others, and also took the little princess's medicine, carrying the little princess to the Tang Dynasty.

"Wo Fei is here~"

The little princess shouted.

The most excited was Princess Chengyang, who quickly got out of the Mercedes and ran to Xiao Ran and the princess, exclaiming, "Sizi!"

Xiao Ran also put down the little princess.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi smiled as well, noting that the little princess had clearly recovered.

Xiao Ran put down the durian mille-feuille, and Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were also delighted.

“Mother, this durian mille-feuille is delicious.” Li Lizhi had mentioned this to Empress Zhangsun before.

Empress Zhangsun was a little scared when she heard it was durian.

"You all can eat," Empress Zhangsun said, as she indeed couldn't eat any more.

Seeing her elderly mother like this, Li Lizhi told the two little princesses to eat on the other side so as not to disturb Empress Zhangsun.
